Literary Devices Creative Writing Worksheets

Crafting literature is hard, and these short literary devices worksheets allow students to explore the individual components of good creative writing before they begin drafting their own original work.

Included in this packet are 3 unique worksheets, each based around a key literary device (Details, Diction, and Tone). In these individual assignments, students will learn about each literary device, see examples of them, and get a straightforward task that will build on their learning and prepare them for their own original writing. Simple, engaging, and a great building block to the development of sound creative writing skills, these activities naturally build towards our Song Lesson activities and Literary Devices: Creative Writing Workshop products - links below.

Administering and guiding your students through these three dynamic and fun worksheets could not be easier! Simply figure out when you desire to teach each of the three literary devices and hand out the corresponding worksheet. The directions, expert scaffolding, and your students creativity will take care of the rest!

This packet of worksheets includes:

• - An activity that addresses the literary device of DETAILS and then asks students to complete several prompted multiple choice and short answer activities

• - Another activity that addresses the literary device of DICTION and then asks students to complete several prompted multiple choice and short answer activities

• - A third activity that addresses the literary device of TONE and then asks students to complete several prompted multiple choice and short answer activities
